Fantastic! That hairgrass carpet is really coming along!

Here a update have a problem with the tank its been very cloudy for a few weeks not sure whats the cause, all the test i did are good the ferts haven't changed. I did a 60% water change today and still cloudy I even did full clean on the rena xp3 last week. Only way to clear it up for a few days is use Acurel F 25.
